Perception is subjective, and we can change it. Changing how you see events is key to improving well-being. What follows is a list of practical techniques to do it. Thought patterns are habits, and like any habit, changing perception will take time and effort until better habits form.

Most emotional pain is self-inflicted. People tend to unconsciously hurt themselves through destructive mental habits. With time, we can change these habits, and this can let us free ourselves of mental self-harm. Once we understand the cause of emotions and how we are creating them, we can change the mental patterns we have built.
